Andrew Kamara of the Sierra Leone Telegraph reported on March 25, 2024, about the shocking disappearance of Abu Bakarr Boxx Konteh, popularly known as DJ Boxx, in Guinea. DJ Boxx was not only a well-known figure in Sierra Leone’s entertainment industry but also a vocal advocate for justice and equality. His sudden disappearance, allegedly at the hands of authorities, has raised serious concerns about the erosion of democratic principles and the rule of law in Sierra Leone.
DJ Boxx, a former Northwest Regional Organizing Secretary of Sierra Leone’s main opposition party, the APC, was known for his unwavering commitment to social justice. His role in mobilizing youth against oppression made it clear that his arrest was politically motivated. The baseless allegations linking him to narcotics were seen as an attempt to obscure the true motives behind his detention.
The international community was urged to pressure Guinean authorities to ensure DJ Boxx’s immediate and unconditional release. As Sierra Leoneans rallied behind the call for justice, there was a strong emphasis on the need for accountability and transparency in DJ Boxx’s case. His ordeal was viewed as a symbol of the broader struggle for democracy and human rights in Sierra Leone.
It was emphasized that those who value freedom and democracy must stand in solidarity with DJ Boxx and others who have been unfairly targeted for their dissenting voices. The significance of collective action in safeguarding the principles of justice and democracy for future generations was highlighted. The world was watching the situation closely, and it was crucial for all advocates of freedom and democracy to unite in support of DJ Boxx’s release.

In conclusion, DJ Boxx’s disappearance has not only impacted the entertainment industry in Sierra Leone but has also brought to light the challenges faced by those who speak out against injustice. The need for upholding democratic principles, respecting fundamental rights, and ensuring accountability in cases like DJ Boxx’s has been underscored. It is a reminder of the ongoing struggle for democracy and human rights in Sierra Leone, where the support of the international community is crucial in achieving justice and fairness for all.
